Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a front surface and a rear surface, a display, a communication circuit, at least one processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to receive a signal from outside of the electronic device using the communication circuit, in response to receiving the signal, display a user interface on an elongated region that extends along at least one edge region of the display, and display at least one content corresponding to the signal, while displaying the user interface or after displaying the user interface.
Claims19
A portable communication device comprising:
- a housing including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
- a display disposed in the housing and visible through the first surface, the display including a first edge region, a second edge region facing the first edge region in a first direction, a third edge region, and a fourth edge region facing the third edge region in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first edge region having a first length and the third edge region having a second length longer than the first length;
- a communication circuit disposed in the housing;
- a processor disposed in the housing and configured to receive, via the communication circuit, a signal corresponding to an application from an external electronic device;
- and
- a display driver integrated (DDI) circuit,
- wherein the processor is configured to control, using the DDI circuit, to display, on the display, a visual object including a first visual-effect portion, a second visual-effect portion, and a third visual-effect portion in response to receiving the signal, such that the first visual-effect portion is displayed along the first edge region, the second visual-effect portion is displayed along at least part of the third edge region as extended from a first end of the first visual-effect portion, and the third visual-effect portion is displayed along at least part of the fourth edge region as extended from a second end of the first visual-effect portion.
A portable communication device comprising:
- a housing including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
- a display disposed in the housing and visible through the first surface, the display including a first edge region, a second edge region facing the first edge region in a first direction, a third edge region, and a fourth edge region facing the third edge region in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first edge region having a first length and the third edge region having a second length longer than the first length;
- a communication circuit disposed in the housing;
- a processor disposed in the housing and configured to receive, via the communication circuit, a signal corresponding to an application from an external electronic device;
- and
- a display driver integrated (DDI) circuit,
- wherein the processor is configured to identify that the signal corresponds to a notification and based on the notification being identified while the display is turned off, the processor is configured to control, using the DDI circuit, to display, on the display, a visual object including a visual-effect portion displayed along at least part of the third edge region with a movement animation effect, and another visual-effect portion is displayed along at least part of the fourth edge region with a movement animation effect.
